a place for me to pontificate on that which i think is important. do i know that you will as well - no - but that doesn't really matter much to me to tell you the truth!
Oh, yet another feather in Palin's cap of crap - The gas pipeline that's being bragged about? Yeah, it's a $500mm (that's half a billion dollars in corporate welfare) GIFT to a CANADIAN company for work they don't have to do?!?!?!?! W...T....F r.
Absolute proof that you should have to take an IQ test and get a license before being allowed to vote ....there is no f'ing way that someone this STUPID should be allowed to have ANY part of electing the next leader of the free world! It makes me cry that their votes count the same as mine ;-( r.
I wonder what McCain and Winky the clown would say if they saw this analysis of the current polling numbers : "We are now projecting Obama to win the election 90.5 percent of the time, with an average of 346.8 electoral votes, and a 5.4-point margin in the national popular vote." Kind of puts a smile on my face...a smile that has a hard time breaking through the grimace caused by the anger and hate of the McCain/Palin campaign.
One in six homeowners owe more then the value of their home?!?! WHAT THE F*&K? While this doesn't "really" impact them till they sell, it's a huge psychological weight....huge. r.
Ok, I'll be the first one to admit that it's not very scientific. That being said - seeing Obama ahead 8375 to 15 in a "global electoral college" (McCain is winning the country of Georgia) makes you stop and think about how the rest of the world views that "shining city on the hill" and who's best positioned to lead it into the next decade. And to top it all off, this is being done via The Economist - hardly a left leaning/liberal publication!
Ok....I'm going to say it - anyone who takes the time to correlate US oil production against the 500 greatest rock music songs as decided on by Rolling Stone has WAY too much time on their hands....or are they onto something?!?!
Let me get this straight.....McCain screams and yells (justly, I feel) about excessive executive pay yet doesn't know that Carly Fiorina got an ~ $40,000,000 payout. .....what kind of leadership is that??
At the RNC Palin stood up and said that the parents of special needs kids would have "a friend in the White House"....I guess they just didn't have one @ the governors mansion in Alaska when she cut Special Olympics funding?? r.
Some great, straightforward analysis on the TRUTH about off-shore drilling and what a scam it is as a political issue. Problem 1 - The oil companies have access to 200% more oil that they haven't tapped yet then there is available in ALL the new areas they want to start poking around! Problem 2 - Even if they did start looking at the new areas it won't make a difference till 2030...maybe later?!?!
